Thanks! Spigen cases are great for the money. I've had mine on my iPhone 6 since launch and it's been excellent so far.

KingColliwog posted:As a beer enthusiast I'm so happy that the whole IPA fad is over. It got so out of control. I can enjoy a beer with a strong hop taste but a ton of the IPAs are just "hey look how much bitterness I was able to cram in this piss soup" I really do enjoy IPAs, even the really fuckoff hop heavy ones, but it did get out of control. Thankfully I like pretty much any style so I'll just roll with changes. Barrel aged and sours are definitely the new fad now, which I'm cool with.

Mu Zeta posted:I have the original version of that and I never use the bottle opener. At the bar they always open it for you and if you're at someone's house they open it for you anyway. It's weird that it's advertised as one of the main features. I have a caribiner bottle opener for my keys and I use it all the time. It's perfect when you're out with a cooler for tailgating or picnics or what have you.

Got a stainless steel "conical" fermenter from SS Brewtech for my birthday. The build quality on this thing is pretty nice for $195. I'm pretty excited to get something into this in a couple weeks to try it out. I wish it bottom drained for harvesting yeast like the Fast Ferment does, but that won't fit in my fermentation chamber and this will. Plus this thing just looks and feels awesome.

I've been eyeing it since the day it came out and finally fell into someone selling one on my craigslist in basically unused condition (he said probably 50 shutter clicks) for $700 including a $70 promaster UV Filter. Still had the receipt for everything with it too. I got a pretty great deal on the 17-40L too at $450.

Target has some decent rugs if you get one of the nicer ones. We had one for about five years that held up well. We sold it after that time because of a design change in our living room when we bought our new house. Our new rug is from West Elm and I'm quite fond of it.

Finally decided to go to an actual running store and have my feet/stride analyzed so I could buy some proper running shoes that actually work for me. Apparently I have a slight pronation so they recommended something with mild stability control. These felt awesome and fit my feet super nicely and were surprisingly light for a shoe that has stability control. I went for a short run on a treadmill tonight and felt great. New Balance 870v4

I turned around to look at my friend's shot and it came square at my face.

It's probably poo poo for highway riding but I'm nowhere near highway riding so I think it's fine for now. At least it's more padded than it looks. I wouldn't have guessed it had elbow armor based on those sleeves. Good on you for the full helmet. Most people in that style of gear would have some awful half bubble helmet or something.

I have their sander and I've used the heck out of it with no problems. I have a circular saw too, but I haven't used it all that much. If I were using it a lot more often, I'd have gotten a better saw though.

Toast Museum posted:There can't be as much room for improvement on a mechanical part like a lens, though, right? I mean, I've read about improvements for small phone lenses, but I figured it didn't really translate to big fancy lenses. Photo people, what's the story? Even if it's developed, product quality control in optics is not cheap. I work in the industrial microscope field and also work with a lot of optics manufacturers.

Ropes4u posted:My wife and I are going to do some wreck diving - I am interested in some simple cave diving, but fear may preclude me from trying. If you want to lose sleep read Diver Down that book freaked me out. Try cavern diving, it's not all that different from wreck diving, but will give you a taste of it. There are a lot of really easy caverns out there, some with with a lot more overhead than others. In my training class we had to turn off our lights and take off our mask and find our way out of the cavern using only the line we ran on our way in.

Yeah, I dig caverns, but I have no interest in serious cave diving. I went a couple hundred feet past the cave line with my instructor in a cave he knew well just to check it out. That was enough for me.

Murphy Brownback posted:I don't have that specific model, but I do have a Travelpro 22" carryon - don't be surprised if you get asked to cram it in that carryon size box (which I'm pretty sure is under their actual size limits because mine never fits in it despite being exactly what they say on their website) before getting on and/or being asked to check it at the gate. I think with my model it claimed to be 22" but when you actually measured it it was 22.5"...it still fit perfectly fine in the overheads, but probably 50% of the time I travel with it I get bothered about it, although I still have yet been forced to check it. One gate attendant told me I'd have to and to give it to the flight attendant onboard, but she just waved me on. I wish they'd spend their time addressing the real problem - people who put their luggage in sideways for no good reason. I went with a 21" for my last two carry-on bags because of that issue. I was tired of having to slam the door on my 22" one that I'd had forever and I took a job where I was travelling regularly so I went with a 21" Delsey that held up well until the zippers broke and the bottom handle that broke. I got a 21" Samsonite that I'm pretty pleased with to replace it.

They're definitely pricey but they're built to be abused. Mine has been put through the ringer over the years and it looks barely used. This includes swimming with it in the ocean for several days during a GoRuck event.

Finished out my Christmas Shopping. Bought my wife a new rollerball pen for work since she is starting a new role the day after Christmas.  Herb Scissors for my mom. Stumbled on these randomly and they looked right up her alley.  Also got her a popover pan since she just got into making them and they are awesome.  Blu Rays for my step-dad    Unrelated to Christmas, but I also bought myself a whole bunch of camlock quick disconnect fittings for my homebrewing setup.

Not that much faster than using a knife if you know what you're doing, but she likes interesting little kitchen gadgets so I thought these seemed intriguing.
